User-Defined Variables

The user-defined variables capability is designed to provide additional flexibility. You can define your own symbols using the KSL command SETOLOC and use them in other KSL commands. They are automatically resolved when the KSL is executed.

A user-defined variable can be any alphanumeric string starting with %%. The characters @ # $ _ are also valid. Lowercase characters are resolved, but upon resolution they remain lowercase and are not translated to uppercase characters.

When the AutoEdit facility identifies a string that starts with %%, the string is assumed to be an AutoEdit variable or instruction. If the string is a reserved AutoEdit symbol or a System variable, it is interpreted as such. Otherwise the string is assumed to be a user-defined variable.
